Arsenal are pushing ahead with attempts to sign young Spanish right-back Ivan Fresneda.
The defender is being tracked by Liverpool and other Premier League clubs this winter.
Spanish outlet AS states that most teams will push in January to secure Fresneda.
The talent only made his first-team debut for Valladolid in September, turning 18 later that month.
Newcastle, Wolves, Leeds, Brentford, Fulham, Everton and Southampton are all tracking him, as are Italian giants Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Roma.
Even Real Madrid and Barcelona are monitoring his progress, such as the anticipation around his talent.
